CORE--COGNITIVE /FUNCTIONAL ASSESSMENT AND ERGONOMICS

认知/功能评估和人体工程学核心的目的是 使老年护理研究人员和科学家在其他 学科，以检查认知和功能状态和模式， 机构（急性和长期护理）和 社区居住的老年人，并评估具体的结果， 老年人的临床干预， 最先进的多层面运作方法。芯会 还提供认知/功能评估的培训场地， 生物仪器的教师和研究生从学院 护理硕士课程在老年护理，农村卫生 老年护士执业计划，老龄化研究博士生， 以及将实施研究利用项目的工作人员， 目前资助的研究项目中的数据收集员。参与者 将学习和实践评估技能，以及进行自己的 研究使用核心资源，同时与其他学生和 工程、物理治疗、休闲研究和医学系， 建立跨学科的培训和研究计划。

The purpose of the Cognitive/Functional Assessment and Ergonomics Core is to enable gerontological nurse researchers and scientists in other disciplines to examine cognitive and functional status and patterns of disability in both institutionalized (acute and long term care) and community dwelling elderly and to evaluate the outcomes of specific clinical interventions for older adults using a highly sophisticated, state-of-the-art multidimensional approach to functioning. The Core will also provide a training ground in cognitive/functional assessment and bioinstrumentation for faculty and graduate students from the College of Nursing's master's program in gerontological nursing, the Rural Health Geriatric Nurse Practitioner program, doctoral students in aging research, and staff who will be implementing research utilization projects and for data collectors in the currently funded research projects. Participants will learn and practice assessment skills as well as conduct their own research using Core resources, while working with other students and faculty in engineering, physical therapy, leisure studies, and medicine to establish interdisciplinary programs of training and research.
